Rossoblù between goals, aspirations and objectives. Antonio Buscè turns 50. Half a century of life cut into a crucial week for his Cosenza. A birthday celebrated among the strong declarations of the post Picerno, in which he shot zero against “everyone”, but with a clear reference to the club and tomorrow afternoon’s match in Trapani, an extremely delicate match as regards the chase for first position. A victory against the Granata, before the evening match against Cavese on Friday 19th, can help to better outline the ambitions of the rossoblù. Never before has the club clearly expressed what its objective is this season. This is part of the list of things complained about by the Neapolitan coach last Sunday.
«What is the objective?». Beating Salvatore Aronica’s Trapani would be a big post-dated birthday present for him, just a few days after the storm generated by his statements, which were not the first to generate controversy. Cosenza would approach the second round with their chances intact.
Meanwhile, today, the coach will not speak at the press conference. The team will leave earlier than other times due to the long journey ahead. The Sila team will reach the northern tip of Sicily at the end of one of the longest journeys of the championship. Nobody thought of giving the coach the opportunity to present the themes of the next match on his birthday. A thoughtful choice or a simple coincidence? The benefit of the doubt remains.
In the meantime, in these hours, the general director Salvatore Gualtieri has rewarded Tommaso D’Orazio with a celebratory shirt for his 200 games with the Wolves. A goal reached in the match against Foggia (attendance is now 201). The symbolic delivery was made in the press room, in the presence of the rest of the team, who also humorously dedicated some chants to their captain. A plaque was also presented to the Abruzzo side by press officer Folino, in the name of president Eugenio Guarascio. The full-back, who is on a booking, could find himself in the starting lineup again tomorrow afternoon after only taking the field for a few minutes against Picerno. In these hours the other training doubts will also be clarified. Achour is eager to earn one of the jerseys, after last Sunday’s decisive goal. At “Basciano”, the Sila team will find two old acquaintances, the defender Emmanuele Salines, with a past in the Bruzio youth sector, and Luigi Canotto.
